TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a method for regenerating a deactivated heteropolymolybdophosphoric acid catalyst, and to the use of the regenerated catalyst in the selective oxidation of lower unsaturated aldehydes to prepare unsaturated acids.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Producing methacrylic acid (MAA) by the use of isobutylene or t-butyl alcohol as a raw material via intermediate methacrolein (MAL) is one of the advanced routes for MAA preparation. There are a number of patents concerning the catalysts for producing MAA by MAL oxidation. All of the catalysts disclosed are heteropolymolybdophosphoric acid compounds (CN 100490973C, U.S. Pat. No. 4,256,914, U.S. Pat. No. 4,347,163, etc.). However, low degradation is the deficiency of these catalysts. Being subjected to an increased for an extended time, the catalyst may break down, with MoO3 being generated, resulting in deteriorated activity.
Various approaches on the regeneration of the catalyst for recovering the catalytic activity have been studied in order to extend the lifespan of the catalyst. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,471,062 provided a method for the regeneration of the catalyst without discharging same, comprising the steps of sweeping the catalyst with an inert gas first, and then directly feeding an oxynitride at a of from about 100° C. to 400° C.
Chinese patent CN1451478A provided an online activation method comprising a step of feeding a gas mixture of oxygen, steam and nitrogen at a of from 290 to 400° C. once every half year or once a year.
Japanese Patent Publication JP 58-156351 disclosed a process to recover the catalytic activity by heat treatment, which process comprises a step of feeding an air flow containing at least 10% of steam by volume to the deactivated catalyst at a temperature of from 70 to 240° C.; however, such a process is ineffective with a catalyst with a destroyed structure.
U.S. Pat.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Detailed Description of the Invention
The present invention concerns a simple and easy process for regenerating a deactivated heteropolymolybdophosphoric acid catalyst, which catalyst has a deteriorated catalytic activity because of its structure partially breaking down after being subjected to an increased for an extended operation time. According to the present invention, the catalyst to be regenerated is a deactivated catalyst whose structure has already deteriorated.
The deactivated catalyst is ground to a particle size of 40 mesh or less, and kneaded for 5˜60 minutes with a mixture of aqua ammonia, aqueous solution containing ammonium ion and organic auxiliaries in a kneader to obtain a paste. The paste is dried for 1˜24 hours and then molded into cylindrical particle with a through hole in its longitudinal axis, which is further calcined in atmosphere at 350˜450° C. for 1˜10 hours to produce a regenerated catalyst whose keggin structure of heteropoly acid is fully recovered.
According to the process described above, the aqueous solution containing ammonium ion can include in the aqueous solution members selected from the group consisting of ammonium nitrate, ammonium acetate, ammonium chloride, and ammonium carbonate, or the combination thereof. The molar ratio between ammonium ion in the mixture of aqua ammonia, aqueous solution containing ammonium ion and organic auxiliaries and the deactivated catalyst is in the range of 5:1˜0.5:1. The of the mixture of aqua ammonia, aqueous solution containing ammonium ion and organic auxiliaries is controlled in the range of between 0 and 70° C., and the organic auxiliaries can be one or more selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl alcohol, pyridine, t-butyl alcohol, and polyethylene glycol.
The obtained regenerated catalyst is a cylindrical particle with a through hole in its longitudinal axis. In one embodiment, said cylindrical particle has an external diameter of from 4 to 8 mm, preferably from 4 to 6 mm, and more preferably 5 mm; an internal diameter (a diameter of through hole inside the cylinder) of from 0.5 to 3 mm, preferably from 1 to 2.5 mm, and more preferably 2 mm; and a length of from 3 to 8 mm, preferably from 4 to 6 mm, and more preferably 5 mm.
The catalyst of cylindrical particle with a through hole in its longitudinal axis generated according to the aforementioned process has a well-recovered catalytic activity, and is capable of being used in the selective gas phase oxidation reaction of MAL (methacrolein) to produce MAA (methacrylic acid). Said selective reaction is conducted by passing a preheated gas mixture through a stainless-steel stationary bed reactor having a diameter of 25 mm and a length of 3 m to perform the selective oxidization to produce MAA. Said gas mixture comprises MAL (a raw material), steam and air or a molecular oxygen-containing diluted gas mixture. With respect to the molecular oxygen-containing diluted gas mixture, the molecular oxygen can be that derived from purified oxygen, enriched oxygen or air; the gas for diluting can be one selected from the group consisting of N2, CO, CO2, and H2O, or a mixture formed by several of them at any ratio. The oxidization reaction is conducted at a of from 220 to 450° C., preferably from 260 to 400° C., and a pressure of from 0.05 to 0.5 MPa, preferably at normal pressure; the overall space velocity of the gas mixture containing the raw material is in the range of from 500 to 5000 h−1, preferably from 1000 to 3500−1; the molar concentration of MAL is 1˜20%, preferably 3˜8%; the molar ratio between oxygen and MAL is 0.5˜8:1, preferably 1˜5:1; and the molar ratio between steam and MAL is 1˜15:1, preferably 3˜10:1. The conversion ratio and the selectivity of the MAA production via MAL oxidization are calculated according to the following equations:
Conversion of MAL=mole number of consumed MAL/mole number of fed MAL×100%;
Selectivity to MAA=mole number of produced MAA/mole number of consumed MAL×100%.
The present invention is described in more detail by the following detailed embodiments; however, the scope of this invention should not be limited to these examples.
